Our publication process is designed to ensure academic quality, transparency, and ethical standards throughout the publication journey.
1. Manuscript Submission
Authors submit manuscripts through the journal’s online submission system. All submissions must follow the journal’s author guidelines, formatting requirements, and ethical policies.
2. Initial Editorial Screening
The editorial office conducts an initial assessment to evaluate whether the manuscript matches the journal’s aims and scope. Manuscripts are also checked for formatting compliance, originality, and ethical considerations.
3. Peer Review
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent for peer review. The journal generally adopts a rigorous peer-review process, such as double-blind review, to ensure objective evaluation. Reviewers assess manuscripts based on originality, academic relevance, theoretical contribution, methodological quality, clarity of writing, ethical compliance, and academic or practical significance.
4. Editorial Decision
Based on reviewer comments and editorial evaluation, the editor makes a final decision. Possible outcomes include acceptance, minor revision, major revision, rejection, or resubmission for further review.
5. Revision Process
Authors are required to revise their manuscripts according to reviewer and editor feedback. A detailed response letter should be provided to explain how each comment has been addressed.
6. Production Process
After acceptance, manuscripts enter the production stage, including copyediting, formatting, proofreading, metadata preparation, and DOI assignment where applicable.
7. Online Publication
The final articles are published on the journal website with complete metadata to enhance discoverability, academic visibility, and future indexing opportunities.
